Spicy on the nose and spicy on the tongue. Juicy in a cherry/currant way.tannins are there to say what up. The acid makes your mouth water for days. In a pleasant way.

This wine overall is much heavier and full-bodied compared to most Italian Sangiovese. First- it’s much darker than you’d expect. Dark plum/purple on the eye with medium+ viscosity and Light staining. Nose sees oak, dark ripe, crushed/stewed cherries and blackberries, hint of fat/cured meat. Palette sees strong, tart cherries, and a lot of cured meat/animal. You’ll also feel the alcohol in your throat. A nice wine, but not at all like your standard Tuscan Sangiovese- it’s bolder, heavier, and can stand up to a lot more. Good value at $17.

Nice Sangiovese characteristics, light-medium oak, but not too much, mostly balanced and decent acidity.
